Enteral duplication cyst of the tongue in a newborn: Case report

Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Enteral duplication cysts are a rare pathology, and very few cases are described in the literature, depending on their location. They are congenital anomalies with an incidence of 1 in 4 500 births, originate from the primitive intestine, and involve the gastrointestinal tract from the oral cavity to the anus. They can be diagnosed prenatally and have a clinical course from asymptomatic to respiratory distress due to obstruction. The suggested treatment for this pathology is complete conservative surgical excision to protect nearby structures. This pathology should be considered a differential diagnosis of oral cavity tumors in pediatric patients. Its early diagnosis in the prenatal period is relevant to carry out an adequate approach and treatment. Case report: We report a case of a prenatally newborn diagnosed with an enteral duplication cyst, confirmed at birth. The clinical presentation, surgical procedure, and treatment results are presented, besides a literature review on the pathology is carried out, emphasizing diagnosis and treatment. Conclusion: the presentation of duplications of the foregut in the oral cavity requires monitoring of the respiratory tract. It is an infrequent diagnosis; however, it must be considered when dealing with a mass in the oral cavity. Complete surgical resection of the cyst is the treatment of choice, with an excellent long-term prognosis.
